Can anyone tell me what kind of pickups were original in a 1988 Zum D-10? They look very much like Emmons pickups. _________________ 2008 Zum D-10, 1996 Mullens PRP D-10, 1974 Emmons D-10, 1976 Emmons D-10, early 70s Emmons GS-10, Milkman Sideman head w/Telonics 15" speaker, 1966 Fender Super Reverb, 1970 Fender Dual Showman head, Wechter/Scheerhorn and Beard Dobros, 1962 Supro lap steels, Gibson 1939 RB-11 banjo, Gibson 1978 RB-250

I believe Bruce used a lot of Truetone pickups, that's what mine had and they were superb |

I thought Bruce wound his own pickups? _________________ Bringing steel guitar to the bukid of Negros Oriental! |

Bruce did wind his own single-coils. I had them in the three D-10 ZumSteel Guitars that I've owned (an '83, '87 and 2002) and they were really great pick-ups. I believe Dave is correct though in that Bruce started using Jerry Wallace, Tru-Tones in the early / mid 2000s. If my memory serves me right, I believe Bruce had a lot to do with getting Jerry Wallace started in the single-coil pick-up business. |

Thanks for the information, they do sound great which is why I wanted to identify them. _________________ 2008 Zum D-10, 1996 Mullens PRP D-10, 1974 Emmons D-10, 1976 Emmons D-10, early 70s Emmons GS-10, Milkman Sideman head w/Telonics 15" speaker, 1966 Fender Super Reverb, 1970 Fender Dual Showman head, Wechter/Scheerhorn and Beard Dobros, 1962 Supro lap steels, Gibson 1939 RB-11 banjo, Gibson 1978 RB-250
